I created some Applescripts and Macros, which might be useful for others too. So I wanted to share them here. For the macros to work, you'll be needing an inexpensive program called Keyboard Maestro (which can be found here: https://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/).

The macros are attached. There are versions for QuarkXPress 2015 & 2016 and in two different languages: English & German. For different languages some macros need to be altered slightly. There is some basic error capturing, but it's not foolproof.

Be aware that some keyboard shortcuts could be conflicting with other ones on your computer. In that case just change it to an appropriate one.

The Default Layer macro can be altered very easy (for selecting another layer) by changing "Default" in the Applescript into the name of the layer to be selected.
